• Six industry-standard pressure port types, including a tube port
which provides for hermetically-sealed process connection
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
• Industrial: Refrigerant pressure monitoring in HVAC/R
systems; dry air system pressure, process controls and
automation
• Transportation: Dry air system monitoring; hydraulic, brake,
and engine oil fluid pressure monitoring; air brake pressure
monitoring
The PX3 Series is not recommended for use with media
involving water, saturated air such as steam and vapor, and
ammonia.
PORTFOLIO
Honeywell’s PX3 Series joins the PX2 Series, MLH Series, and
SPT Series heavy duty pressure transducers.
DESCRIPTION
Honeywell’s PX3 Series Heavy Duty Pressure Transducers
use piezoresistive sensing technology with ASIC (Application
Specific Integrated Circuit) signal conditioning in a brass
housing and Metri-Pack 150, DIN, or cable harness electrical
connections. The PX3 Series is calibrated and temperature
compensated from -40°C to 125°C [-40°F to 257°F].
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
• Total Error Band (TEB) ±1.0 %FSS from -20°C to 85°C:
Provides indication of the sensor’s true measurement
performance over a specified temperature range; small
error promotes system uptime and efficiency. (See Figure 1.)

• Higher insulation resistance and dielectric strength:
Protects the user and sensor in high over-voltage
situations, and ensures that the device is compliant with
industry standards.
• Higher EMC performance: Operates more reliably in the
presence of electro-magnetic fields, such as near wireless
signals, RF communication, and electrical devices.
• Higher external freeze/thaw resistance: Survives exposure to
frost, commonly found in refrigeration systems. (See Figure 2.)

Definition
PX3 Series, 1 bar to 50 bar | 15 psi to 700 psi
Output is calibrated to be proportional to the difference between applied pressure and a fixed reference to
perfect vacuum (absolute zero pressure).
Sensor construction is identical to the absolute version with a built in reference at zero pressure in order to
minimize measurement error over temperature. The output is calibrated to be proportional to the difference

Diagnostics Mode (For Ratiometric Voltage Output Only)
The PX3 Series diagnostics mode allows the device to
indicate when internal or external faults occur. If an internal
fault occurs, the output will rail to the preset lower or upper
limit values shown in Figure 4 and Table 5.
External faults will result in the sensor’s output exceeding
those preset limits (lower or upper). (For example, if the
external sensor ground (signal) were lost, the sensor output
